The Jim Corbett National Park

The Jim Corbett National Park represents the first marked efforts for natural conservation in India. Established in 1930s amid the growing concerns over the rapidly disappearing Bengal tigers, the park was initially called the Hailey National Park. It was renamed in 1957 after the death of the legendary hunter Jim Corbett. Corbett had lived in Nainital, his entire life before moving to Kenya, in 1947 – he was famous for hunting down more than two dozen man-eating tigers in the Kumaon region.
